Edens Serpent - A poem

this ‘S’ on my chestis a molten lava riverflowing down to power source my vulva

this ‘S’, a serpentgripping its tail in its mouthswallowing the knowledge of itselftill it is sated

singing infinite circle songssigning itself onto its own scalesto the tone of the kundalini ohma note recognisable in us allif we only listened

a note that supersedes the noise of misogynyof war rape and the costof living the nip tuckdictated by ticked boxes and barbie stencils by sitcom stereotypes and fashion pagesmusic videos or good intentionswearing a splattered apron of liberal new manlinessor by the officious tongue of religion -how I twist in its ode to womanliness

the now-ness that 'I AM'cannot be held to ransom by a corset of liesor Frankenstein-ed by the stitches of a surgeon’s knife

WELCOME TO TRAVELLING LIGHT

This blog is an online exploration of neo-Womanhood. It is not meant to define but just examine what it means to be a woman in the 21st century and how we can protect the new woman that emerges from the rubble of eigthies power shoulder pads, nineties girl power mania and the noughties rise to Run the World, Girls!

Woven throughout this exploration is a story of a woman who was reunited with her own mother after 60 years of separation and how this motherless child had raised a girl child of her own, alone in 1970's and 80's Black Britain.

At times, this blog will seem disjointed, but click the 'Travelling Light' label and see the story unfold in poetry, autobiography, art and film.
